CADMANs Mini Grow Log

Hey, OG’ERS :wave:

Looks like I cant wait till spring to grow something!

So I went and pulled out this tiny tent with the intention of obtaining the parts to make this an actual functional grow space!

Pile of stuff in a storage tote.

Here is our 4 month old kitten for size reference.

The area I plan to have this setup.


Here is a 1gal fabric pot (still have room for a wider container tho :yum:)

Thinking of snagging this little contraption for active exhaust.

And IF it fits inside ? Have to measure to ensure smooth install :ok_hand:

All equipment from online directly from china shops.

Then need to choose the Cannabis strain to grow & possibly nutrients, that grow bag is filled with Soil+Compost at this moment.

Suggestions on lighting would be great :+1:

That little fan is just 12 CM in size with 82/95 CFM in wind power at 23watts. Its a MINI sized blower. For $26 CAD.

I did find Bannana seeds, although not the exact ones I was looking for yet. @Cummings420

I’ve got a few of these Sayhon SH1200’s that ive literally ran for a couple years straight without issues. A little over 100w and has uv and ir and fully dimmable. If you go to their website it looks like a 20% discount so it could be had for around 54$ i think. Theye made very well.

@OH420 thanks for the suggestion, I took at the light, but if wont work.

This whole tent is literally 12 inches wide. This tent is 1 ft x 1ft x2ft tall the size of a flooring tile. So the light has to be under 12 inches square.

It looked a little bigger than that but yea, that light is like 14" long. That 50w should be plenty for that space. I’ve always wanted to try a micro grow out of a cabinet I have but never got around to setting it up. I’m definitely following this thread.

Something I’m considering for veggie hydro is getting some of the LED strip lights probably the COB style. Then I can stick them on whatever surface to put above plants.

Not sure if that’d be strong enough for weed, but you could literally make a board that’d fit in the top of the tent and cover it with the strips cut to length.

There are ones that are CCT or “tunable white”, which means you could pick anywhere from ~2700K to ~6000K light temperatures (varying levels of fine adjustment between controllers).

I don’t have a specific product recommendation, nor do I know what’s available in canada, but if you google those terms (LED COB CCT strip) you’ll find what I’m talking about.

It occurs to me that your tent is incredibly tiny: “strong enough for weed” is extremely relative in this situation. :laughing: You probably aren’t trying to grow a monster in there!

Im looking for 50 to 85 dimmable watts of electronic juice for led power.

I’m probably gonna use the whole 12" square of room to make as much buds as possible.

I understand this aint gonna be record breaking lol

I got my 65w for $30+ including shipping in alibaba, but that was 3 years ago. Size is 300mm x300mm almost 12 inches. It has veg and bloom switch, average harvest due to temp issue in my box maybe better result if I could maintain ideal environment.

I also had a fan just like that (no brand), it did a little help to reduce temp by 1-2°C but it is still high. I bet that will do on your box since you are living in a good climate.

Good luck on your mini grow log Mr. Cadman :eyes:
